The South African Federation of Trade Unions (SAFTU) has rejected government's decision to accept a one-point-five billion US dollars or roughly a R25 billion, Development Policy Loan from the World Bank. The federation warns the loan could open the door to more privatisation, austerity and increased private sector control of public infrastructure. SAFTU says the move signals a continuation of neoliberal policies that will put more pressure on workers and service delivery. Elvis Presslin spoke to SAFTU spokesperson, Newton Masuku, to discuss the union's position.
